procedure for removal Police Clearance Certificate


06-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hello, I was involved in a Cr.Case under IPC sec 509 and IT Act 2000. This case was filed against me in the year 2013. I was on anticipatory bail and later Case was B finalized in 2014 and. This was regarding the Engagement and Marriage process which went wrong and I had sent some abusive messages and pictures to my then 'would be wife' as there were some misunderstands and misbehavior by the girl's relatives. Now after a long time I married the same girl as the problem between the two families were solved. I work in a Multinational Company. They require PCC every 3 years. However its been more than 4 years the case has been B finalized but yet in 'Police Clearance Certificate' they still mention about the case Crime Number and and its B Final accepted by the Court of law. Its making me go through a lot of questionnaire and doubts from my employee. Is there any way I can get rid of this issue ? How can I get my name removed from PCC?

Firstly .. u r the employee and the multinational company u r in is a employer ... secondly.. the criminal case would still remain, though there is a b-false report filed... u need to get a certified copy of the order copy carry the same to the concerned police station and get a clearance drafted and signed with a seal from that station and carry it with you all time ... as the name would be uploaded in the police site and can’t be erased/deleted though u were acquitted.

1. You can not remove your details from police record.

2. But, you can apply for PCC with respective police station. The PCC is certificate given to you, if court accepts 'B' report and order to issue such certificate.

To remove a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) or clear your name from police records in India, follow these steps:
  1. Consult a Legal Expert: Seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer who specializes in criminal law. They can guide you through the process and provide personalized advice based on your situation.
  2. Eligibility Assessment: Determine if you are eligible for the removal of a PCC or clearing your criminal record. Eligibility criteria may vary depending on the nature of the offense and the applicable laws.
  3. Apply for Expungement: If you are eligible, your lawyer can help you file a petition for expungement of your criminal record in the relevant court. The court will review your case and decide whether to grant the expungement.
  4. Provide Supporting Documents: Prepare and submit all necessary documents and evidence to support your petition for expungement. This may include character references, court orders, and any other relevant documents.
  5. Court Proceedings: Attend court hearings as required and cooperate with the legal process. Your lawyer will represent you and present your case to the court.
  6. Follow Court Orders: If the court grants the expungement, follow any specific orders or requirements outlined by the court.
  7. Inform Concerned Authorities: After the expungement is granted, inform concerned authorities, such as the police department or the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), about the court's decision to clear your name from police records.
  8. Verification: Verify with the authorities that your name has been removed from their records and databases.
  9. Maintain Legal Conduct: Ensure that you abide by the law and maintain a clean record after the expungement.
Please note that the process for removing a PCC or clearing your name from police records can be complex and may vary depending on your specific circumstances. It is crucial to seek legal guidance and follow the legal procedures correctly.
